Full build log.

When trying to build slurm with slibtool (https://dev.midipix.org/cross/slibtool) it fails.

rdlibtool: link: ar crs .libs/libscrontab_ref.a .libs/libscrontab_ref.o
ar: .libs/libscrontab_ref.o: No such file or directory
rdlibtool: exec error upon slbt_exec_link_create_archive(), line 1219: (see child process error messages).
rdlibtool: < returned to > slbt_exec_link(), line 1805.
make[3]: *** [Makefile:600: libscrontab_ref.la] Error 2

This is because in src/scrontab/Makefile.am and some other files the libscrontab_ref.lo rule is manually set. However only GNU libtool can handle these manually created files and it is not portable.

I tried to remove it, but it then obviously fails with undefined references.

I am hoping someone here can help solve this issue as I am stuck so far. :)

It can be reproduced by installing slibtool in your $PATH and then exporting MAKEFLAGS='LIBTOOL=rdlibtool'.

Please see the attached build logs.
